I personally don't believe in giving out free money if you don't work for it. I know what it is like to struggle with finances when my dad died and my mom was not able to work at the time. Instead of my mom looking for a bunch of hand outs or blame the government for the lack of finances she went back to school got her nursing degree and now makes quite abit more money.

My philosophy is instead of crying about the lack of money or how the rich people keep getting more, I better myself in my own abilities and earn the high paying jobs that are out there.

So you know I am voting McCain, though I don't like either one of them, I will take the guy who I can agree with a tad bit more. Also I don't listen to talk radio, not my type of thing I rather be listening to my zune.

This is not at all a racist thread, and in no way am I rascist I just don't like Obama for his political ideas.

But what I am wondering is do you think when the people start going to the voting booth will the people standing on the fence (as in undecided) on Obama will they really contemplate the race issue.

Don't be ignorant and rascist because I think this is a definite issue for the Democratic voters in the south.

They are pretty far apart in their political views, so if a person is still undecided, I'm pretty sure they're brain dead to begin with -- so yes, there will be 'many' on both sides that will choose over the candidate race.

Two dreams in two days...

Almost all night classes are subsidized by the state.

Sorry!

what are you talking about...if your talking about my mom going back to school she went during the day as you could only take clinicals during the day. Also the government didn't pay for it...so sorry!

Do I think that it's great that your mom went back to school and better educated herself to allow herself to succeed in the workplace? Sure do! But, I guarantee that she had some sort of government "free money hand out."

Even if she didn't get any scholarships, if she went to a state school, the government picked up the bulk of the tab. If she was in a continuing ed program in a private school, the state picked up a share of the tab.

Out here Washington University (top 15 private school) offers continuing ed at 1/3 the cost of regular tuition. The other 2/3s is covered by their endowment and the taxpayers of the state of Missouri.

i feel the same way. Obama is a socialist, there is no other way to put it. He wants to punish those who find success in this country with hefty taxes. What else would you call it?
And quite frankly, what has obama accomplished in his life that allows him to make such rediculous statments? Has he ever runned a buisness? All he has done so far is collect his own money from the government. He has no expierence in corporate america and has absoultely no idea how a successful business should be runned. This is why i wanted romney or even bloomberg.

Who's pushing this "socialist" label, anyways? Rush? I see it pop up all the time here, and all it makes me wonder is a) whose lies are these posters repeating and b) don't they know they're making themselves look foolish by advertising the fact that they apparently have no understanding of socialism or democracy?

Go to your local bookstore, people, and pick up something like "Political Science 101" if you want to be able to understand the labels you're slapping around so casually as if they were indisputably true.

Pretty soon here I'm going to have to say something painfully honest and then give myself an infraction for it and edit my own post.

Has McCain ever "runned a business?"

George W. Bush "runned" a few into the ground before he was president, does that count?
